Dragon Quest X 3DS nearly sold through its entire initial shipment

As Media Create reported yesterday, Dragon Quest X for 3DS sold just over 52,000 copies in its first week. Those sales were accompanied by an incredibly high sell-through rate.

According to Media Create, Dragon Quest X 3DS sold through 95.53 percent of its initial shipment, leading to sell outs in many stores. A download campaign also increased the user base for the game, so makers’ expectations were exceeded and new shipments are halted temporarily. As a result, next week’s sales numbers are expected to decline.
